>>32719424>Along with a lot more extra contentThat's also true for ORAS though. The only thing is, it didn't include content from Emerald specifically. It, in-turn, used XY's content. It's not that it had less game modes than HGSS. It just didn't have Emerald game modes.
And that's justifiable. For HGSS, they had a completed Battle Frontier, which took two years to make, just ready to be copy pasted. They didn't have Emerald's Battle Frontier ready though, which also took 2 years to make in GBA era. Who knows how long it would take in 3D. They didn't have the time. It just wasn't possible.
So they had no choice but to cut Emerald frontier, and instead added content from XY, something that was ready to be copy pasted.
